I have a stoves 720 gra with both ovens working ok but switch it to grill and it goes to the lit stage but carries on clicking ignition then goes out with a smell of gas any ideas please

ignition probably serves both, if clicking when not lighting, fault or sticking button

main control board,take it back,its expensive,1 year warranty

It could be the top oven overheat thermostat going faulty. With something like this the only way to find it is to take the oven to bits and use a test meter to see what is causing the problem. Just to let you know, on the 720, the grill works independent of the timer/clock. So if both the top oven and grill are generating the problem, that is where I would start to look.

First things first. The oven element is totally separate to the grill element. The clock has to have a time set for either the top or bottom oven to work, whereas the grill will work without the clock being set.
The control knob for the top oven is the ONLY control that will turn the top oven lights on, the grill does not turn the lights on. ( If you want to watch your toast, you have to turn the top oven switch on to the first setting as well as operating the grill control).
To prevent the grill being operated with the door shut, there is a micro-switch on the door hinge that allows the grill to operate ONLY when the door is down. The grill control also does not illuminate unless the door is down. There are two options on the grill control - right or left. One way is the inner element only and the other is both inner and outer ones.
So if you have done all that and it still doesn't work, then the micro-switch could be faulty.
Best of luck

Not too sure of the model, but on the 720 the grill will not operate unless the door is down (microswitch control - you can hear it operate when the door is shut/opened) and the overheat device has not operated.(Cooling fan has to be running)

I can only speak for the 720. If you want a circuit/wiring diagram for this one, then I need an email address. I will then register this on my BT Digital Vault and you can the download the whole manual.
Looking at the diagrams, the neon for the main oven has white and black wires.
The white wire from the main oven neon goes onto the same connector on the thermostat block as the white wire to the oven element. The black wire from the neon goes to a common terminal on the top oven neon, which then goes onto P6 of the top oven switch (still black wire).
If you need any more info, then let me know.

Turn on the gas knob for the oven (below the grill)
You will see an ignition button below the one that switches on the oven light,it is clearly marked.
Press in and hold the gas knob and press ignite button,you will see the safety bar flame light,when the safe to operate temperature is reached,the oven will stay lit after you release the gas supply knob.
Set oven temperate guage (gas mark 4 is approx electric 200 degrees,thats all there is too it
Hope that helps

No, there is no reset button. However, the grill will only work when the front is down as there is a microswitch which operates to provide connectivity when it is in this position. This is to stop the grill overheating. The switch could have gone faulty.
Does the top oven work ok?
When you operate the grill there are two options, part or full. Are they both failing? Does the cooling fan switch on when either grill is operated?

I have a Stoves Newhome EL716 double electric oven and last night, it just lost all power and stopped working - no grill, oven, lights, clock or anything. Can anyone tell me what this could be please? Thank you.

Our oven had the same fault.

It turns out that the air intake was blocked.

The air intake is at the front, just below the bottom oven door. Some liberal sucking with a hoover sorted the problem instantly.
